The strength of the temptation will be in the magnitude of the
advantage which by the supposition is a sinister one. The
simplest shape in which it can manifest exist is that of an
allow
a partnership and consequently variable share in the profit, or that of a
sort of rent or fixed allowance which thing paid out of the profits if fixt.
In these any such simple shape it may perhaps sometimes
though it will not always be to be reached by investigation:
but there are other shapes there are in abundance which investigation
can never reach. Dealings to the amount in question by a relative of one of the parties
with a relative of the other: and so on without end. Elective
interest exerted by one party in favour of the patron of the
other: and so on without end.

Every dealer who is not already in this way in connection with
the Governor will be may if either not plagued every entirely plagued like he is.

remedy be applied to an abuse, the opportunities for which
are repeat themselves every day.

thus weak and inefficient, be not worse than none.

and of this confidence the effect is to diminish that public
fund of jealousy which is the basis of every real security that
can be afforded against abuse.
